This is where we do our research: Our institute is located on the campus of Mainz University.
We investigate the interactions between air, water, soil, life and climate in the course of the Earth's history up to the present human-dominated era, the Anthropocene.
With the help of the ATTO climate research tower, we want to find out how the rainforest, the atmosphere and the global climate influence each other.
We collect seawater, plankton and air samples with our deep-sea research yacht Eugen Seibold.
